Hinata followed Sasuke into the restaurant and sat across from Sasuke. "This is a very nice place."
Sasuke was looking at the menu and nodded, "Yeah I think you said that the first time we came here."
"Uchiha-san….about your accident…."
Sasuke closed his menu, "Can we not talk about that?"
Hinata looked around to avoid the angry look on Sasuke's face. "Why n-not? We need to…..there is a lot to discuss."
Sasuke's fists clutched and he stared down at the table. "I don't want to talk about it. It's really upsetting."
"B-But Uchiha-san your memory…"
Sasuke interrupted her by slamming his fist on the table, "That's the problem!" Sasuke tried to lower his voice, "It bothers me that I can't remember the details of my life. And worst of all I can't remember the details of my life with you."
Now it was Hinata who couldn't look up, "Uchiha-san…..I'm so sorry."
"No Hinata I'm the one that is sorry. I hate that I don't remember everything. I remember coming to this restaurant with you but that is it. It's all a haze to me and makes me angry."
Hinata was frowning, she thought to herself. 'Poor Uchiha-san, I have to help him. I have to make him happy.' She reached out and grabbed one of his fists. She opened his fists to hold hands with her. "It's ok if you don't remember everything. We can make new memories right. It will be like starting from the beginning again."
Sasuke squeezed Hinata's hand, "Well it won't be starting from the beginning for you. But I appreciate you trying." Sasuke kissed her hand, "Now let's eat."
A couple of hours later the two were leaving the restaurant hand in hand. Hinata noticed Sasuke was silent as they walked down the streets of Konoha. "What's wrong?"
Sasuke shrugged, "Nothing."
"Are you sure?"
Sasuke sighed and smirked, "You always could see right through me."
"I could? I mean of course I can. I mean I am your girlfriend shouldn't I know when something is wrong with you….my boyfriend."
Sasuke was looking up at the star covered sky, "It's just I thought if we came here….I'd remember more."
Hinata squeezed his hand, "It's ok it's going to take some time."
"I am trying Hinata I really am but it doesn't seem to be working."
Hinata thought for a minute, "Well is there any other place you remember?"
He smirked, "Yeah follow me." Sasuke started running dragging Hinata along.
They arrived a couple minutes later at their destination. Hinata looked around "The park?"
Sasuke nodded, "I remember coming here a lot and just talking….and stuff." Sasuke couldn't stop the smirk from appearing on his face.
Hinata was a little confused by the way he said the word 'stuff' but, decided to forget it for now as she sat next to Sasuke on the ground. "So do you remember anything?"
Sasuke looked around, "I can remember sitting next to you and then….nothing."
"It's ok Uchiha-san I'm having a good time…it feels like the first time." Hinata didn't know what to do next she tried to think of something quick. Hinata leaned over and rested her head on Sasuke's shoulder. She had to admit she liked sitting there with Sasuke she felt relaxed as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
They stood sat there for awhile starring up at the sky. Until Hinata was feeling a bit cold and Sasuke decided to take her back home. At home they laid in the same bed but, this time when Sasuke rolled over and put his arm around her she squirmed out of his grasp. She placed a pillow in Sasuke's arms so he could cuddle with that instead of her. Hinata didn't know why but she didn't feel right. Hinata stared up at the ceiling knowing she would not get any sleep that night.
The next morning Hinata woke up alone with a note on the pillow next to her. The note was from Sasuke telling her he was off to training and then going to see Tsunade for a checkup and that he's be back later. After showering, getting dressed and ate before heading out to Tenten's house. When she got there Hinata knocked severely times before Tenten opened the door.
Tenten had just gotten up so was still very groggy, "Hey."
Hinata smiled, "Hi can I come in?"
Tenten stepped aside and let Hinata enter the house. Tenten was fully awake as they entered her bedroom. Hinata looked around, "You redid your room?"
Tenten shook her head, "No."
"But the walls were light green and now they are light blue. And where are all the pictures of you and Neji?"
"Oh….that well yeah I forgot I just painted so I had to take all the pictures down. I just haven't gotten around to putting them all back up yet."
Hinata nodded, "Oh yeah you were always lazy with that stuff….but everything between you and Neji is good right?"
Tenten nodded fast, "Yes, yes we are great. But enough about me what's going on at the Sasuke's former bachelor pad?"
Hinata sat in a chair across from Tenten who was sitting on her bed. "The place is great but Uchiha-san….that's another story. I've thought about it all night and I figured out some things. Neji said that Uchiha-san had a crush on me before his accident and that's why his brain thinks I'm his girlfriend. But that doesn't explain how Sasuke has some memories of us being together."
"He can't have memories Hinata if haven't been dating him."
"That's exactly what I said but the more I thought about it I realized he does have memories of us being at those places."
Tenten looked at her friend like Hinata was crazy, "Are you having memory problems now?"
Hinata shook her head, "No, no, no I remember we've been at the restaurant and the park or should I say we've seen each other there. I remember running into Uchiha-san at those places. And because of his accident he thinks those run ins were dates."
"So what's the problem?"
"Problem? Did I say there was a problem? Does everything have to be a problem? Can't I just come over tell you my discovery and say hello?"
Tenten raised her eyebrow, "You're being defensive."
Hinata looked away, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Hinata!"
She let a long sigh, "Fine, it's just that I don't know if I should be doing this. I feel like I'm….leading him on with all the hand holding and letting him put his arm around me."
Tenten pretended to gasp, "You slut. Hand holding and having his arm around you I never thought you were that kind of girl Hinata."
"You know what I mean? I think me being with him isn't helping him it is just making it worse."
Tenten tried her best to comfort her friend, "No you're wrong they tried to do that. They original told him he was wrong and that his accident had made him think that but it was too much for him to handle. He went into a kind of shock and when he woke up again Tsunade decided to have you be with him. I mean it won't be for long he'll figure everything out soon. It's not like you are falling for him right?"
Hinata quickly shook her head, "NO! Of course not, besides it's not like he really has feelings for me. It's all in his head not in his heart." Hinata didn't know why but that fact saddened her.
